I am not actually sure when this started happening (so I can't tell what changed), but I haven't been able to have the client service start with UAC enabled. We used to be able to have in enabled, but something has changed.

The only thing that changed recently is that I performed the update to 6.02.31 and then 7.0.b8q+6.2, and I updated samba to 4.1.4 on our server/rrServer.

I've been through some of the debugging, and the log for the service says successful, and the only thing that changes is it either says "Not elevating token" or "Elevated token using linked.token/Linked.token".

I would prefer to keep UAC on, since we don't use the software that the help says needs it to be off. It would keep us a bit more safer.

Since I disabled UAC, it runs on start-up as a service. If I look in the Task Manager, it says that rrClientconsole is being run by "Animator" (my user account on the system). Animator is part of the administrators group in mmc.

Is there something in the windows event log about the issue?
Control panel/Admin Tools/Event Viewer - Windows Logs

Then I am not sure if the version that you use would print a logfile in C:\RR_localdata\C_...txt.
(The filename should not have any number, if it has, then it is a render log, not an application log)_________________Holger SchÃ¶nberger

Ok, I have tested it on a freshly installed win7 profesional machine with highest UAC and there was no problem.
I can not repro the issue on any machine._________________Holger SchÃ¶nberger

But the rrService can access the files on the fileserver, otherwise it would not be able to check if the local rrClientconsole is the same version as the one on the fileserver._________________Holger SchÃ¶nberger
